Trade review
40 odd years ago, 3 physicists - Peter Higgs, Gerard 't Hooft and James Bjorken - made the spectacular breakthroughs that led to the world's largest experiment, the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Played out against a backdrop of high politics, low behaviour and billion dollar budgets, this is the story of their work and its implications.
